Ledge Lounger Inc. has named Chris Scherzinger CEO, succeeding the founder and outgoing CEO Christopher Anderson, who remains on the board and will assist with key company growth initiatives.
Scherzinger is a seasoned executive with more than 30 years of experience. He was previously CEO of Weber Inc. and prior to that held various executive and leadership positions at Jarden Corp., Johnson and Johnson, Procter & Gamble and General Electric.
Scherzinger brings a track record of disruptive growth, iconic brand building and creative product innovation, the company said in a news release, adding that he brings impressive strategic insight to the Ledge Lounger team.
“I am thrilled to join the Ledge team,” says Scherzinger. “Chris Anderson and his team have built an impressive business that has been on the leading edge of innovation and design in the industry. I am excited to embrace that legacy and continue to focus on new product innovation and growth across all our direct-to-consumer, wholesale and B2B channels.”
As the founder and CEO of Ledge, Anderson leaves an indelible mark on the company and industry. Under his leadership, the company created a new product category of in-pool furniture and elevated Ledge Lounger to a leading position within the industry. Anderson’s dedication to the company’s customers and team members and his commitment to innovation has laid the groundwork for future success, the news release said.
“I founded Ledge Lounger with a vision to bring innovative products to the swimming pool and backyard industry. We have done that and so much more,” says Anderson. “As I transition from my role as CEO, I have full confidence in Chris’ ability to steer the company toward new heights.”
